I have not been active in a while but I notices Ad Choice pop ups and initially thought I was hi-jacked or infected but could not find any evidence of it on my computer and then noticed it was mostly on this site that the pop ups were appearing. Is this something that Martin (he does still own this site correct?) is using here?

I remember seeing a bit set for beading that used 2 round over bits, one was off set so when you made the reverse cut (the 2nd cut,) you didn’t get that indented edge that has to be sanded of due to the bushing (roller) going deeper on the 2nd cut. Does anyone know what I am talking about :) or have suggestions?

I noticed that I was up to 1000 comments, gezzz I think I should shut my mouth and stop typing. The old adage about god giving me 2 ears and one mouth and to use them in that proportion but in this case 2 eyes and 8 fingers, 2 thumbs) seems more appropriate) :)

Hi Guys, I have been thinking of trying a pipe these past few months. I was wondering if any of you have made your own? I did see a few jocks here have made them and I will contact them for advice. But do you have any suggestions on wood types and tips?

I keep meaning to empty the bag but it was snowy and cold and I am retired and lazy I guess. I forgot this morning and milled a few boards for some pull out draws I was going to start today. Instead I had to spend an hour + cleaning up the sawdust <laugh> Ya think after living 51 years I would have a clue :)
So I donned the dust mask an...

For those of you that pray, please say a few words for my Mom, Dad is in the hospital and his time on earth is short. My Mom is/will having a hard time and could use your prays. I am more of a science guy but God and I talk a lot. Well mostly I talk and he just listens and looks down I guess.
Thanks

We have lots of snow up here and I was thinking about building some type of sled that could be used to slay riding and maybe even be pulled behind my ATV.
I did a quick search here for “sleigh snow” but was not lucky enough to find anything.
Any thoughts?

I am looking for an attachment that will reduce copy and engraver. I am thinking about using the dermel but with an attachment that can trace and reduce an image (letters pictures etc) I have seen things that can do it with a pencil so I am sure it can be done with a dermel. I am just hoping I do not have t6o make it :) although it is not th...

What can I do with them? Can they be resharpens? For $35 bucks the seem like disposable items. Besides throwing them in the trash what can I do with them?

I am looking for a large spring to hold my 2 1/2” vacuum hose. Some thing that I can hang from the ceiling to suspend my hose while I “sand away”. I saw the Wood Whisperer use it on a Festool Sander (I think) but have not been able to find one anywhere, which means I am not looking in the right place. Any hints?Yes I did ask...

Suggestion please :)

I will keep these outside under a protected porch open to the weather.
My plan is to lightly wire brush the loss paint chips...

Contractor said $6700 does that sound right? I have not priced a truss in a long time.
If I was not so far up in the woods I would build it myself (with a little ...

I have done a little research but need some guidance on this. My step-son tried to clean his new table top and damaged the finish (about a 6 inch circular spot) and then to make matter worse he scratched another section (8 inch scratch (in the finish only, not the wood).
The finish looks like a mat or satin finish on dark wood. Can you reco...
